UH-VICTORIA PRIORITIES FOR FY 2013
OVERVIEW
The University of Houston-Victoria is a four-year, master’s comprehensive institution, offering 25
bachelors and 15 master’s degrees. During fall 2011 total enrollment reached 4,330 students, a 5.7%
increase over the previous fall semester. UHV awarded 1,025 degrees in 2011, including 596
baccalaureate and 429 master’s degrees.
Making UHV a destination campus continues to be a priority for UHV in 2013. The creation of the UHV
Guarantee (which guarantees coverage of all fees and tuition for students who qualify for federal/state aid
and whose families earn under $50,000) will initiate additional growth. Students from families earning
$50,001 and above can qualify for graduated amounts of aid, based on income. In addition UHV will
make its application in 2013 to be a federally-designated Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). This status
will make UHV eligible for additional federal grant funding to support student success initiatives and will
have implications for the award and administration of financial aid programs, specifically the
disbursement of Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) funds. Given that slightly more
than 50% of first- and second-year students now enrolling at UHV are Hispanic, these funds would be
useful in implementing tactics that enhance student retention and increase student success.
The UHV planning/budgeting process, which includes open budget hearings, always balances the many
locales within its multi-site identity. As such, UHV will continue to be responsive to UH System strategic
priorities. It will offer additional academic programs; form additional partnerships with area school
districts, community colleges and universities; create synergies with hospitals and health-related
organizations; strengthen its ties to area business and industries; support new construction in Victoria; and
develop and strengthen international programs and community partnerships.

UHV’s State Budget for FY2013 – Impact on the University
UHV views this next year with cautious optimism, as constrained resources must manage an expanding
enterprise. Since state funding is largely driven by student enrollment, UHV’s 56% student enrollment
growth over the past 4 years has helped positively shape the size of UHV’s state funding. While the
Legislature funded a new special item for downward expansion of $2.1 million per year ($4.2 million
total), the cost of downward expansion to date has exceed $6 million. An additional reality is that UHV
has taken a reduction of $1.5 million in state funding.
To address the fiscal challenge, UHV has embraced multiple revenue-enhancing strategies. It has
increased productivity, efficiency, and job reassignments as three ways of doing more with current
resources. But because adding new programs and program concentrations requires additional staffing,
UHV is also committed to finding resources for these costs, which are up-front investments in its
academic infrastructure—absolutely vital if enrollment is to expand at all levels, from the first- and
second-year students to upper-level transfer students, and, of course, the many graduate students who are
entering UHV’s master’s programs. Moreover, UHV is expanding its reach in new locations, with the
School of Nursing moving into The Woodlands and the School of Education & Human Development
putting courses in Gonzalez. There are additional negotiations with Houston Community College to offer
education courses on its Katy campus this fall.
The institution, thus, intentionally will make use of additional funds to spur academic growth in critical
fields, at the undergraduate and graduate levels, by targeting programs such as the new Master’s in
Family Nurse Practitioner, the Master’s in International Business, expansion of STEM discipline courses
at the lower levels to attract high-ability students, mandated Core Curriculum redesign by the
Coordinating Board, and increased support systems for first- and second-year students. To increase
retention and graduation rates, UHV plans to coordinate services into a student success (“one-stop shop”)
model, thereby integrating and enhancing advising, tutoring, financial aid, and early warning or intrusive
assistance. Moreover, some funds will be allocated toward student affairs so that stronger linkages
between academic and student affairs may also augment students’ success rates as they move through
their academic careers.
Finally, UHV is not only committed to academic collaboration with other institutions. It also remains
committed to the sharing of financial and facilities resources. In Victoria, UHV shares a library and other
facilities with Victoria College, which also provides developmental coursework to UHV freshmen.
Although UHV is a major player in the delivery of courses at UH Sugar Land and UHS Cinco Ranch, it
shares a common staff and contributes proportionally to expenses on the basis of enrollments. At UH
Sugar Land, UHV shares facilities and services with Wharton County Junior College and shares library
resources with Fort Bend County. Shared technology resources will continue to provide cost savings;
UHV utilizes PeopleSoft, Blackboard/Learn systems, and development and research databases that are
currently shared UH System resources. Shared resources and collaborative relationships will play a
crucial role in limiting the cost of delivering instruction and student services.
PRIORITY 1. STUDENT SUCCESS
CONTEXT
The downward expansion of UHV in 2010 has entailed a sea change in the approaches for student access
and success, necessitating an emphasis on retention of first- and second-year students and on funneling
resources into those strategies that support the recruitment, admission, enrollment, and retention of
freshmen and sophomores. While implementing its new, additional goal of becoming a destination
university, UHV will continue its historical mission of serving non-traditional students on the Victoria
campus, UH Sugar Land, UHS Cinco Ranch, and online. Semester credit hours generated by online
courses have increased from 12,698 in fall 2007 to 21,371 in fall 2011, an increase of approximately 68%.
Off-campus instruction (face-to-face and via ITV) increased from 5,297 to 8,021 SCH during the same
time period, which is a 52% increase. To better reach and respond to students, UHV has implemented
online student orientation, advising and tutoring.
The institution has been encouraged by recent survey data that students have noticed these efforts. Based
on the cohort of first-time, full-time entering juniors who entered in fall 2007, 70.3% graduated within a
four-year period, UHV led the State in a national survey of student satisfaction based on seniors’ response
to the question of whether they would choose the same university if they could choose again. As UHV
enters a new era as a destination university, it will continue to enhance its student success initiatives.
In programmatic terms for FY 2013, UHV expects to expand its RN to BSN degree program in The
Woodlands, feed the upward growth trend in the School of Business Administration’s graduate business
degrees, augment its new major in Spanish, establish degree opportunities on site in Gonzales County,
and continue participating in a System-wide “consortium” approach to the delivery of baccalaureate and
Master’s programs in the Houston area. Moreover, UHV plans to teach courses at Houston Community
College’s campus in Katy as well as to continue its discussions with Victoria College and other
community colleges regarding reverse articulation agreements that would provide additional seamless
access points for transfer students seeking baccalaureate degrees, while not damaging community college
completion rates if students attended UHV programs prior to the receipt of a two-year degree.
FY 2013 BUDGET INITIATIVES
Faculty ($350,269 New Resources)
With significant enrollment growth and several new programs, UHV will be able to serve
significantly more students. For FY 2013, ten new faculty positions will be funded, along with one-
time funding to help support an endowed professorship.
Student Recruitment, Retention and Graduation ($374,718 New Resources, $21,692 HEAF)
Besides expanding academic programs, enrollment growth requires a strong commitment to student
recruitment and retention. UHV will expand new student orientation and retention programs,
construct an academic support lab, and hire academic advisors, student mentors, and tutors.
Specifically, new funding will be used for the UHV Guarantee, which provides free tuition and fees
to freshmen and sophomores from outside the Victoria College service area whose families meet
certain income requirements. UHV will also extend and expand its financial aid opportunities for
freshmen and sophomores who do not qualify for free tuition and fees based on family income.
Academic Programs ($741,579 New Resources, $282,631 HEAF)
In 2012, UHV received approval from the UHS Board of Regents and the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board (THECB) to add the following degree programs: B.A. in Spanish and B.B.A. in
Finance. As a result of a reduction in state funding for special items, additional funding will be
directed toward nursing programs. HEAF funds will be used to upgrade instructional technology and
instructional laboratories. Approximately 70% of HEAF funds dedicated to academic programs will
be used for technology.
Multiple Delivery Systems ($334,750 HEAF)
UHV will continue to support Blackboard course management and incorporate multi-media in online
courses using lecture capture technology. UHV will continue utilizing HEAF and additional Library
fees to enhance electronic library services and resources and to extend instructional support services.
Approximately 60% of HEAF funds dedicated to this initiative will be used for technology.
UH Sugar Land and UHS Cinco Ranch ($70,257 New Resources)
UHV assists in supporting, developing and expanding the UH/UH System presence in Fort Bend
County. Both off campus sites are supervised by the Associate Vice Chancellor for UH Sugar Land
whose primary responsibilities are focused on program promotion and support. UHV is dedicated to
on-going expansion in continuing to meet the needs of the Fort Bend community. Off-campus
enrollment in Fort Bend County, including both ITV and face-to-face courses comprised nearly 32%
of UHV’s total semester credit hour generation in fall 2011. UHV remains committed to providing
high-quality programs and support services to students and faculty in Fort Bend County.
Local funds will be utilized to support Sugar Land and Cinco Ranch service charges. HEAF was
utilized in 2012 to fund library space in the new Ft. Bend County Library located at the UH Sugar
Land campus and remodel classrooms for additional faculty offices. UHV also employed HEAF
funds to purchase new copiers at UH Sugar Land, which UHV faculty and staff, UH System staff, and
other parties may use.
Destination University-Downward Expansion ($40,000 New Resources, $800,000 HEAF)
The Texas Legislature recognized the importance of downward expansion in this region of Texas and
allocated a yearly special item in the amount of $2.1 million for two years ($4.2 million total). This
funding is being used to support multiple activities related to downward expansion that the university
has already instituted. Such activities are hiring of new faculty; adding personnel and operational
funding for student recruitment, retention and graduation efforts; and increasing academic programs.

PRIORITY 2. NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS
CONTEXT
UHV is committed to academic and research excellence. While national competitiveness is a challenge
for all institutions, UHV strives to be competitive by enhancing programs and services, supporting faculty
research, providing competitive salaries, developing credible assessment procedures and providing
students with current technology and library resources. UHV faculty members have also been
increasingly productive in publishing research and securing external grants. The percentage of proposals
awarded was 45% in FY 2011, during which UHV received 13 new awards. The number of active
awards has increased from 18 in FY10 to 20 in FY11.
In addition, UHV has received national recognition for the quality of its programs from many sources:
The UHV School of Business Administration (SoBA) has received several citations, including: Princeton
Review—Greatest Opportunity for Minority Students (#3) (2010); Get Educated.com for Global MBA
(#4), Strategic MBA (#17), and Best Buy Bachelor’s Business & Management (#6) (2009); and 2008
Education Award finalist by the U.S. Association of Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
The UHV School of Arts and Sciences is becoming a national leader in the area of publishing.
Because of the American Book Review and other nationally recognized publications on campus, Victoria
is a “haven for Humanities publishing.” It has been said that there is a “literary renaissance” in Victoria
due to the presence of these publications at UHV. Recently, ABR reached an important milestone when it
brought in Robert Coover, one of the most famous American writers of the past thirty years and a director
of creative writing at Brown University, who gave a reading to the campus and civic communities.
The UHV School of Nursing (SoN) received over $1.2 million in sponsored funding to address
professional nursing shortages and equip nursing labs and simulation centers. SoN graduate and
undergraduate programs are fully accredited by the Commission for Collegiate Nursing Education
(CCNE) through 2014.
The UHV School of Education & Human Development (SoEHD) received initial accreditation from the
Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The SoEHD
has also established a timeline for pursuing Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC)
accreditation. All of its programs have passage rates on State licensure examinations of over 90%.
FY 2013 BUDGET INITIATIVES
Professional Development Opportunities ($37,366 New Resources)
UHV provides faculty and staff with professional development opportunities to maintain and enrich
the quality of its programs and services. By combining local, endowment and state funds, UHV
supports faculty research and participation in professional conferences. In addition the University
provides a broad array of online training to employees located at different sites. Additional faculty
development funds will be provided to support the associated costs of research, conference
participation, and teaching awards.
Equity and Competitive Salaries for Faculty ($323,644 New Resources)
Faculty promotion salary adjustments for full-time tenure-track faculty will continue to be 4% for
assistant professors promoted to associate professors and 6% for associate professors promoted to full
professors. UHV conducts salary reviews to monitor internal equity and external competitiveness.
Equity adjustments will be considered for faculty who have both an extreme equity pay issue
compared to the market and have meritorious performance evaluations in FY 2012 providing funds
are available. Merit adjustments of 2.5% will also be allocated to faculty based on FY 2012
evaluations. Each UHV School has a system of merit evaluation with clear and substantial
differentials to encourage meritorious performance. Equity adjustments are based on CUPA
averages, the standards in the field of evaluating faculty salaries. Non-academic units, too, have
merit-based evaluations and merit differentials based on performance.
Faculty Research ($17,612 New Resources)
The UHV Research Administrator works with faculty on writing and submitting grant proposals for
external funding as well as administering awarded programs. To support these efforts another grant
writer position will be considered.

PRIORITY 3. COMMUNITY ADVANCEMENT
CONTEXT
UHV is committed to enriching the community by offering programs and services that help citizens grow
and develop. Initiatives that have enhanced the quality of life in Victoria include the American Book
Review (ABR), Letting Education Achieve Dreams (LEAD), and the Small Business Development
Center (SBDC). The SBDC continues to be committed to building and preserving long-term regional
relationships impacting the economic health of communities in the area. SBDC provides free guidance
and technical assistance in the form of counseling and training, which have an impact on small business
development, growth, and sustainability. In FY 2010, the SBDC assisted local businesses in raising $12.7
million in capital; that value increased to $13.5 million in FY 2011. SBDC staff also conducted 4,595
hours of direct counselor activity with center clients.
In addition, faculty and staff have funded grants that provide specialized educational programs for
specific community groups. The Society for Critical Exchange hosts an annual conference on campus.
Additional grant-funded projects help participants revitalize programs to make them more effective. The
Teacher Quality Grants to support training and retention of public school teachers and Title V:
Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions is meant to increase transfer of community college students to
four-year schools and improve the quality of distance education. The “Community Campus” initiative
(see below) is intended to enrich student life and educational development by involving students as
participants and contributors in the civic and cultural life of the wider community. At the same time the
students’ involvement will enrich the community.
An important initiative begun in fall 2010 is intended to develop collaboration between the community
and campus in providing educational and growth opportunities for residential students. This “Community
Campus” initiative is intended to involve students in arts, cultural, and fitness opportunities available in
the community and to foster their development as citizens and contributors to their future communities.
The community campus will provide students an opportunity to develop greater civic responsibility
through participation in local cultural, social, and political events, volunteerism, and community-based
learning experiences. UHV currently lacks academic programs and opportunities in theatre, music,
graphic and other creative arts, and lacks sports and fitness facilities; but these are available in the
community.
Finally, UHV Athletics is an important way in which we enrich the Victoria community. UHV first
added athletics teams in fall 2007. Baseball and softball teams competed in their first seasons during
spring 2008; two additional sports were added in fall 2010: soccer and golf. UHV has had teams
qualified for post-season play each season, and four of the six teams qualified for post-season
tournaments this past year. Our softball team currently is completing in Georgia to go to the national
tournament. Total season attendance at baseball and softball games was approximately 14,200 people.
FY 2013 BUDGET INITIATIVES
Athletics ($116,222 New Resources)
The Athletics Program has notably raised UHV’s visibility and awareness within the community and
has helped recruit students to Victoria. Increased funding for scholarships, training, medical supplies,
equipment, facilities rental, entry fees, uniforms, travel, lodging, and meals are being provided to
support the continued growth of this program.

PRIORITY 4. UNIVERSITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND ADMINISTRATION
CONTEXT
UHV is committed to maintaining, improving and expanding facilities to provide a safe, up-to-date and
efficient environment conducive to learning, teaching, research and service. Administrative efficiency is
an important university value that is demonstrated by reducing costs while improving services.
Investments for this priority will focus on expanding technology, providing competitive and equitable
salaries, and developing other quality improvements.
FY 2013 BUDGET INITIATIVES
Technology ($84,469 New Resources, $136,487 HEAF)
As the number of students, faculty and staff increases, so do the university’s information technology
needs. UHV promotes using technology as a cost-effective method for providing university services,
including improved electronic access bandwidth to support online course delivery and online
registration. UHV will continue to invest in IT technical support as well as upgrade computers,

WORKLOAD, COMPENSATION, AND ADDITIONAL INCOME (University of Houston-Victoria)
F-1 Workload
General expectations with regard to teaching, research, and service are noted in section E.11.1.
Percentage weights for evaluation are explained in E.7.4 and should provide guidance to the distribution
of a faculty member's attention. Each academic school may have more specific expectations.
1.1 Teaching Load
This policy is in compliance with Sections 51.402 and 51.403 of the Texas Education Code, which
requires the establishment of minimal teaching load requirements. Each faculty member paid full-time
from the appropriations item "Faculty Salaries" must report a minimum of nine Teaching Load Credits
(TLC) each semester. However, in practice, 12 TLCs represent the normal teaching load at UHV and may
be reduced only with the Provost's approval (see below).
In addition to teaching, faculty workload includes academic advising, directing independent studies and
theses, curriculum development, and committee work.
Faculty are also expected to engage in scholarly pursuits, remain active in their discipline and profession,
and provide professional service to the community as need arises and time permits. Faculty workload
policy attempts to quantify other activities related to instruction to assure fair and equitable workloads for
all faculty members, while, simultaneously, meeting the special needs of this university.
Reduction in Teaching Load:
Although the overall standard remains a twelve-hour teaching load for each semester, this may be
reduced at the discretion of the school to no fewer than nine for owed TLCs, additional time for productive
research, administrative reassignment, grant projects, or possibly special projects. The following
qualifications apply:
o The school/program must maintain its credit generation at the existing or expected level or above.
o Course scheduling must be maintained in a way that allows students to progress expeditiously
toward their degrees.
o Faculty positions (full-time or part-time) cannot be added to support reductions in teaching load.
o If the semester teaching load has been reduced for the express purpose of allowing a faculty
member more time for research, summer teaching must be comparably reduced, and the faculty
member may not teach an overload or a course elsewhere for extra pay. Faculty members are
otherwise free to engage in employment for additional compensation, so long as this falls within
the provisions set by the Board of Regents (See F-3 below) and any applicable policy concerning
external grants.
o There must be a written expectation of and accountability for what faculty members are expected
to accomplish or produce if granted a reduction in teaching load, whether on a temporary or
indefinite basis. This may be covered in a school policy statement or in a memorandum from the
Dean to the individual faculty member.
o The reduction in teaching load may be continued only for so long as expectations are being
fulfilled or until the task or project has been completed.
